Floor Kids was a welcome surprise on the Switch eShop, blending hand drawn art with an infectious hip hop soundtrack and rhythm gameplay. The music—produced by Kid Koala—was a serious highlight for the release, and now those of you who loved it will have a chance to own the full soundtrack in its own separate release.
Kid Koala just announced that Floor Kids: Original Video Game Soundtrack is coming out on 27th April, containing 71 minutes and 42 tracks of “‘70s funk, thumping '80s 808s, granular '90s 12-bit hip-hop, and 2000s synth funk.” The soundtrack will be available in both digital and vinyl formats, with pre-orders already open here. And for those of you that would like to hear it live, Kid Koala is kicking off the Vinyl Vaudeville tour in April, you can find the dates and locations through here.

That’s pretty cool. I love music, but have a hard time finding a quiet area by myself to play a music game in (I don’t like wearing headphones). I’d be interested in the game otherwise.
Considering that most music nowadays seems to be mastered digitally, I feel that it's totally ridiculous and redundant to be releasing music on records. It would make a lot more sense making them available in lossless audio forms on either a DVD or a Blu-ray disc. The only music that would truly benefit from being on vinyl are those what were recorded traditionally (and even then, I would much rather prefer a lossless digital version that can be used on other devices).
It confounds me that the highest possible quality recording (in most cases) I can obtain commercially is on a CD, which should be considered ancient and obsolete by now. It's still a far better alternative to buying music from services such as iTunes though (which supply audio at a fifth or so of the bitrate of a CD).
Still need to get back to this game at some point, only played for a little bit. Too much to play, ugh.
Actually looks pretty damn cool
Because of course it is.
@sillygostly exactly. same with the shadow of the colossus soundtrack. it's only coming out on vinyl and via a small indie record label...while sony has a number of their own labels..wtf?!
I still need to buy this...my wishlist has 24 games and they aren't cheap.
They range from 15-50!!!! Grrrr...
Great Floor Kids needs more exposure.
One of the best music games on Switch so far.
@JJ286 it's super fun
Ordered the Album , might go to Los Angeles show
